Sea strainer/seacocks December 5 2007 at 2:15 PM		Dan (no login)


Hi All, I know theres alot of experience in here so here it goes: I have a 1984 commander 360. I have to service my sea strainers/seacocks as they are nearly froze up. They are Groco svs1250 strainer shutoff combos. I talked with Groco yesterday and they informed me this model went out of production in 1987 and parts are no longer available. He said to take them apart and clean them and lube them wich is no problem,but... if the plug/rubber is ng then im sol. My question is what am i in for if i have to replace these units. They are the oem ones and have never been replaced. I can handle most body and mechanical aspects as i am a 26 year truck mechanic. I would just like to know of any surprises I may encounter and would i use grocos again or another brand? Thank You Very Much, Dan
